    Hello from Oregon and thanks for the video. Allow me put in my $0.02 lol. Last December I daily drove a OnePlus 6t. It was time for me to upgrade. I originally opted for the Note 10+. Due to the holidays, everyone was sold out. I reluctantly purchased the note 9, feeling like I was settling. Well, now it is March 2020 and I could not be happier with the note 9. In 2018 I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. Since then I've had many health issues. Because of the immunotherapy, my rheumatoid arthritis flares up often. I used to draw quite a bit in my free time but am not able to do so. I picked up photography. The camera on this phone is still incredible! The sPen is actually easier for me to use than holding a pencil lol. I am one of the very few people that actually uses the pulse ox feature with Samsung health. I do have to check my heart rate daily. It helps! The phone is pretty good size yes, but it's not uncomfortable. I also use a skin ( dbrand) on my phone. This thing is built like a tank. It's heavy. It feels premium. I have no intention of going to the Note 10+ as of right now. This phone handles everything I throw at it. Multitasking, photo editing, video recording, as well as hours upon hours of screen time with maybe topping off the battery once a day on heavy use. Honestly, I don't see a major need for anything else. Sure, you can "spec junky" compare it on paper all day long, but most of the review videos by other tech review UA-camrs continue to maintain that it's a great phone! The price is dropping quickly. Go get one and then wait for the next jump in Samsung's flagship series. Like the note 9 was and is. You won't be disappointed! Also, headphone jack!!!!! Lol I hope my comment helps someone that is on the fence either way. Wish you all the best!

I know it could be possible for the HeadPhoneJack to make a return (the new Note10Lite), and would be excited if it happened. I have accepted that the Note9 might just be the last great flagship.

    So here's my Story. I Loved the Note 9 at first sight & decided I "HAD" to have one. I purchased my first one used from Amazon, and found out it had a defect that blocked it from receiving SMS messages, I kept it for 3 months then decided to return it and use the refund to purchase another one Renewed through Amazon. I waited excitedly for it to arrive. When it did I discovered it was a Fake Note 9. To Amazon's credit as soon as I told them it was fake they issued an immediate refund, which I used to purchase a Note 9 from Samsung instead of Amazon. It cost more, but came before it was scheduled and I fell in Love with this phone. Now the 10 and the 20 have come out. I still have my Note 9. I Won't lie & say I haven't thought of upgrading to the Note 20 Ultra but i doubt if I will because I Absolutely Love❣ the Note 9. It just fits me. Shout out to Samsung for making the Perfect Phone. Note 9 Rocks.

    First of all, I love your channel.
    I saw the launching of the Note10 and... bought a Note 9. It was half the price and honestly, the core differences are little. Basically the ultra wide camera. Apart from that, I don't care the others, like the Spen gestures. And hate some downgrades (like the loss of 3.5 jack).
    Until now I'm very happy with my purchase. I think I'll upgrade only in 2021. Or 2022! Beast of a phone. In a sense, the last true Note.

    Honestly, it's silly to upgrade every 6 ~ 12 months.
    It's best to upgrade every 2 or 3 years realistically.
    The Galaxy Note 9 is what I got my mom to upgrade her phone from the Galaxy S8 Plus after she dropped it and pretty much destroyed the screen.
    So I got her the Otterbox Defender Pro case along with the Otterbox Alpha Glass screen protector and it's been very well protected since I got it for her.
    Of course I also got her a 256 GB microSD Samsung memory card as well.
    8:36
    Oh wow. I wasn't aware that Samsung phones only gets 2 major updates to its OS.
    So basically you really need to upgrade every 2 years.
    I guess in that regard, I'm a bit spoiled since I personally use iPhone.
    But I upgrade every 3 or more years.
    Right now I'm on the iPhone 7 Plus.
    I think this is one aspect that Apple does right.
    I like how Apple supports older phones with the newest iOS update for years and years.
    You typically pay more for an iPhone, but if you consider that you're going to upgrade every 2 years as opposed to 3 or 4 years with an iPhone, you do get more value with the iPhone.
    I hope that this year's iPhone line up is good. I think it's about time I finally upgrade.
    Is there word on when the Galaxy Note 20 will be coming?

That being said if we can keep gettingsoftware updates like they should do for five years on the note 9 it would still be the best phone. But right now it's still competes and wins in many ways.

    I love my note 9 (8/512). I bought it less than a year ago and literally wouldn't change a thing other than having the ultra-wide and say a 10x zoom camera. But that's it. I like the headphone jack and this obsession with screen to body ratio is ridiculous. I have no lag or slowdown issues like like I did with previous phones and even with heavy use I easily make it a full 15 hours before I have to charge. I even have found the rear fingerprint scanner to be better overall than a front scanner. Now that UI 2.1 is coming to the Note 9, giving me quick share, I can't imagine what "killer app" they could add that would persuade me to buy a new phone. With older phones, it was always a speed and lack of RAM and storage problem that forced me to upgrade. So far this has not been a problem with the note 9. Since that is the case, One thing Samsung could do that would really make a lot of people happy is offer upgrades to newer OSes on a fee basis. I think that would also be a good thing for Samsung too, because it would slow down the precipitous drop in value of these flagship phones, thereby making the purchase of a new one a better deal. Changing phones is a huge deal for me mostly due to the time investment of having to customize the new phone and login to my hundreds of apps for the first time every time I upgrade. It's a real pain I don't look forward to at all. So I'm keeping my Note 9 as long as I can.

    Fast performance, great battery life, great camera, excellent build quality, endless customization (unfortunately GoodLock is not available in my country ;) ), ton of features and honestly great value. I bought it brand new at a discount for 600$ (128 GB model)
    The numbers have faded since a new generation of phones has come out but it's still a great experience and it even has things that newer ones don't (no notch or punch hole, headphone jack, heart rate monitor, iris scanner and I especially love the feature to pull down the notifications with the fingerprint scanner at the back, makes seeing notifications really easy)
    I don't recommend that people upgrade unless they eat and sleep technology, and if you want to buy a fast, well built, feature packed, customizable phone then it's still great
    Honestly it's the best phone I ever had and I don't plan to upgrade until at least 2022 (unless god forbid something happened), most likely to another Note.
